Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}2/R.12.7.38. re: 3½-litre Jaguar. ~? Replying to Sgll/Ell.7.38., the Jaguar car is at present in pieces. A complete weight analysis has been made and drawings of every interesting part have been obtained. One of the main objects of buying the car was to be able-to see and handle forgings of which we know the price, and also see what finish could be put on the parts of a car selling for £450. It is our intention to start re-building the car within a month from now. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
